No, really...so I go out to the car. I get in despite the 100+ degrees it is inside, put the key in the ignition and then...nothing. The key no longer turns the ignition.

Now, NOW, I find that it's a somewhat common feature with these cars! It's not like I can go to the dealer or anything...can you guess what kind of car I have?!! Here's a hint, it's a 2006 - the last year they were made.

Actually, for some reason I'm not especially upset about this. I prolly should be, but I'm just not. I'm gonna wait till the middle of the night when it's way cool outside and give it another try then. I'm working on that 'heat expands, cold contracts' type of theory with this idea.

I still wanna just go out and give it good kick though; wouldn't you?!! LOL =)

    Thank you
    I know it is very frustrating for you, but this made me laugh! I wish I lived somewhere like London or New York so I didn't need a car because they are money pits. Not to mention a never ending source of frustration! Mostly because I am the one who has to deal with repairs even though I am married and it should be the man's job to take care of that stuff.......

    Good luck with the car,
    Cindy

    Thanks for the replies!!! LOL (It's fixed now..got out the trusty dremel. =)

    Oh, and it's a Pontiac GTO...yep, leave it to me to get a car that the maker is no longer in business. Good thing there is GM! ;)

    Thought you were gonna say Saturn, jendrey!
    BOTH of the cars in my 2-car household are Saturns....which went out of business last year.

    We were always big Saturn supporters (this one's my 2nd), but getting service now for them is such a b**ch!
